Where can I learn more about Canadas justice and court systems, and where can I receive essential legal information?
The Department of Justice website provides detailed information on Canada’s Justice and Court systems. The Department also produces an online booklet called “Canada’s System of Justice,” which provides a good overview of the Canadian legal system. The BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association operates Dial-A-Law, a free service available by phone and online, which provides a library of practical information about BC law in the form of scripts prepared by lawyers. In every province in Canada, there are public legal information organizations that educate and inform Canadians about the law and the legal system. For additional resources, please consult our legal links.
